In an interview with CBS, Michaela Bradshaw shared her experiences on Survivor and what she's learned along the way. As she spoke about the changes she has made since the show, she shared:

“Since Millennials Vs. Gen X, I've found it a lot easier to take action in the face of fear. After surviving loneliness, starvation, physical exhaustion, and exposure to the elements, I just can't allow silly things like “what-if" scenarios to have control over me.”

She added:

“Also, I find that my reaction is to laugh at ridiculous things as opposed to becoming upset or angry. Whether it’s an annoying person, an unexpected delay, or a letdown of some sort, I just don't have the energy to be upset at anything that can't win me $1 million.”

Fans can tune into CBS on August 10 to catch The Challenge USA season 2 premiere at 10 p.m. ET.
